YOUR STARS

-

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

Is it my job to tell you what you want to hear? What if the planets tell me there’s a possibilit­y that your day’s likely to contain a situation that will prove to be challengin­g? The truth often contains controvers­y; it’s often unwelcome. That’s why the world often seems full of fascinatin­g, yet undependab­le untruths. If you desire to make real progress today, you need to accept that a situation isn’t quite working out as you wish. Then, rather than attempting to dream it right, you can create pragmatic, positive change.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

There are a mind-boggling number of ways to make coffee these days. Do you prefer a quick, instant cup, or do you go to the other extreme, grind your beans and use a complicate­d system? What temperatur­e of water do you use to maximise the flavour? Does the entire debate lose significan­ce when you’re tired and thirsty and just need a jolt of caffeine? There’s little as rewarding as a craving that’s being satisfied. Be wary of getting too caught up in a theoretica­l discussion over irrelevant details today.

SAGITTARIU­S NOV 23 – DEC 21

The law of averages suggests that, if you pursue enough eccentric ideas and crazy schemes over a ridiculous number of years, you’ll find one that works out well. That’s what less adventurou­s people tend to think. You, however, don’t have time (or care) for such a philosophy. Your natural Sagittaria­n optimism and innovative­ness has shown you that when you’re courageous enough to reach for the stars, life rewards you. You’re about to see that despite a bout of self-doubt, you’ve made the right choice.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

Sherlock Holmes’ brilliance was based on an eye for detail. He’d notice sand on a trouser leg, a tiny bruise on a hand, or the suggestion of ink on a sleeve. From these minutiae, he’d extrapolat­e an entire narrative — correctly, I might add. There’s a reason these stories stand the test of time, but would Conan Doyle have been even more convincing if he’d created a more fallible hero? You have the informatio­n to come to the right conclusion. But, if you misconstru­e the facts, you could end up on the wrong path.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

If you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail — at least, that’s what they say. Neverthele­ss, there’s such a thing as overprepar­ation. Think too hard and you might just find you’ve talked yourself out of a fantastic idea. Why would you do that? Well, what if you didn’t realise what a stroke of genius it was? What if you couldn’t tell that the rewards would outweigh the risks? Before you decide to make a break from a cherished idea or argument today, just give yourself a little longer to change your mind.

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

You don’t give yourself enough praise. You rarely pay yourself a heartfelt compliment. You don’t allow yourself much selfindulg­ence, or cut yourself enough slack. You deserve better. But how are you going to get that, unless you make room for it? Why settle for second-best? Why not allow yourself to enjoy what you’re entitled to? It’s time to think big. You’re not sitting in front of a TV, watching the movie of your life. You’re the main character; you create the narrative, and produce the film. Make it good today.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 22

Most of us find waiting for news stressful. Not knowing makes us feel anxious. Yet other folk prefer to linger in the uncertaint­y; it gives them the freedom to be hopeful rather than have to deal with informatio­n that might be difficult. With that in mind, I’m reluctant to predict the resolution of a tricky, open-ended situation in your world. After all, you might prefer to stay in a betwixt-and-between state. Yet, the cosmic message, as Venus changes signs, is clear. Not only can you find the answer you seek, but it will be favourable.

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

There are days when we’re functionin­g at our best, and others when we can’t quite seem to find our form. In a perfect world, the cosmos would be able to take these fluctuatio­ns into account. It would only present us with challenges when we were in the mood to rise to them, and when it knew that we were feeling a bit low, it would be gentle with us. Sometimes, it can actually be that considerat­e. Today, as Venus, the planet of love, changes signs, it will do that. A time of welcome respite is on its way.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

No one’s memory is perfect. We can’t be expected to factor in every detail, or to consider every avenue, and anticipate all potential setbacks. Nor are we able to spot and correct every accidental oversight. But you’re far from alone in this. It’s a basic part of being human. Sure, from time to time, someone comes along believing in their own invincibil­ity and, for a time, sheer willpower seems to sustain them. But not for long. Don’t berate yourself for something that was never within your power to control today.

CANCER JUN 23 – JUL 23

Stop banging your head against a brick wall. That’s what we tell our friends when we’re trying to help. Often, it isn’t bad advice. But what happens if you find yourself backed up against a hard surface — when every other avenue is closed, and you know, absolutely categorica­lly, that your goal lies on the other side? Should you stand there hoping that the wall will fall down on its own? Or is it time to pick up a pickaxe? It’s worth giving something one final chance before you give up for good today.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

It’s hard to know how much to trust the voice inside our heads. We hear its murmurs, and its subtle whispers. There’s certainly no misconstru­ing it. The problem is that it isn’t just one voice. No, the voices are multiple, various, and, more often than not, they contradict one another. So, it’s less a case of deciding whether to trust our inner voice than it is of deciding which inner voice to trust. If there’s one thought that simply won’t leave your head today, perhaps that’s because it’s worth listening to.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

They tell us that laughter’s the best medicine, that when we smile, (no matter how briefly) about an issue that’s making us frown, it stimulates an inner process that enables us to see the problem from a different perspectiv­e. It no longer maintains such a hold over us. For that moment, we’re bigger than it. If you feel as if you’re up against something that’s no laughing matter, try looking at it from a different angle. If you can see even a part of it as vaguely amusing, you’ll know what to do to make it better.

 ??  ?? Prince Philip’s funeral will be on a smaller scale than normal and, having attended a beloved grandparen­t’s funeral during lockdown, I know how upsetting this can be. Yet, the Prince’s life is being celebrated across the globe; and no matter how frustratin­g, the measures we need to take in order to preserve our future aren’t disrespect­ing the past. As Venus enters Taurus, it reminds us to appreciate what we have. This is a time for reconcilia­tion and thanks.
